favcrttA The stFack"-foe thsro wero no
roads at that tms-Fan for the greater ID
tancs through tbs bush, some parts Of which
were % denso - scarcely to admit daylight.
Every man was well armed Ny brother had
brought with him . f~rstclass revolver, pur-
chased in London. This he kept, with other
valuables, carefully hidden On his person, hi
other belongings being slowed away in b Of
the wagons When they bivouacked for the
night, care was taken that it was an open
space, where q good lookout could be kept, to
mako sure against q sudden surprise. The
wagons were placed in the middle, sentries
posted and scouts placed so that the fight Of
. bird or the fall Of a leaf could not pass un-
noticed. All were on the qui vive. For some
days all went well, nothing unusual or alarm
ing occurring. They were then we'll into the
bush, and consequently, If possible, more vigi-
liant, believing that even a mouse could not
intrude itself among them.
Ono morning it was found that during
the night they had been, spite Of all their
vigilance, mysteriously and u~naccountably
Joined by a stranger, who stood in their
midst a. If one Of themselves. No one could
imagine how or whence he came, and utter
establishment prevailed. He was q fine,
portly man, from IS to 40 years of age, with
an open, progressing ~countenance and good
address-one who, under other circumstances,
would have been an acquisition to the party.
Not in the least taken aback or abashed by
the scant welcome he received or the undis-
guised surprise his presence created, he came
forward boldly and told a most plausible
story to the effect that he was a stranger
making his way to the gold fields; that, not
outstanding the stories he had heard in Sgd
ney Of Jack" and his comrades, he had ven-
tured 30 far alone, but as he got further into
the bush he lost heart and determined to join
the first party he met.
It looked strange that he had no luggage Of
any kind, not even provisions or anything to
indicate that he was bound for a long jour-
ney. He made no attempt to account for his
mysterious appearance, entered into the ar
rangements Of the cavalcade and made him
self quite at home. Every man among them,
with the. exception of my brother, believed
that no one but "Jack" himself could have so
taken them by surprise, the general belief BE-
ing that it could only be from personal ex-
perience tho terrible b~ushranger derived the
perfect knowledge he displayed when making
his raids.
The party agreed that the wisest courss
would be to await the progress Of events,
watch his every movement, and let him see
that they were prepared to sell their lives
dearly, If driven to do so.
The stranger seemed to have an unlimited
supply Of money, and to be generous about 1t,
paying his way freely. He took at once to
my brother, and the liking was mutual; in
digger parlance, they became mates, chum-
med, walked and smoked together. My brother
found him a well-informed, agreeable com
panion, a vast improvement on their rough
associates, and he seemed thoroughly to enjoy
the society Of the jovial young Irish gentle

has a strong competitor, not because
the comforts and accommodation of
the older line are not of the best,
but because the customs officials
treat man so badly"
Then Mr.. Wheelock, who is an
Englishman, INDUCED in a little
TRADE against the wretched accom-
modations for the reception of trav-
clers.
"They make you open your bag
gage yourself, not like in other
ports, where you have a porter to do
it," he continued. "'rhen they
throw a fellows things about in the
dirt of dirty dock shed floor. The
wind whistles through the open
gates and fellow has to scramble
about on his knees almost, gather
ing up his belongings and slowing
them back in his trunks. They
make you declare what you have,
and think it is outrageous. They
turn round and search your things
as though you had lied to them.
They haul every bit of thing out and
charge you for it. 1t is outrageous.
I'll never pass through this port
again. l would rather go round the
Horn"
After Mr.. Wheelock had recover
ed from his Indignation at his recep-
ton here by customs officials he
was questioned as to preparations
for the new line of steamers at its
termini and ports of call.
wHARvEs AND WAREHOUSES;.
"What preparations have been
made at HongkOng for the berths of
the steamers and the carrying of the
mails, etc.!'
"The steamers will be berthed
alongside the new wharves of the
Kow Loong Wharf Company. These
wharves are great improvement on
the old ones, and the present owners
have amalgamated their interests
with those of Mathison, Jardine &
Co. Hongkong will be considered
the starting point of the line and the
mails from Shanghai will be carried
by the Nippon Gusen Kiashia Com
pany to Hongkong. Yokohama will
merely be port of call. 1t has no
wharves to speak of. Vancouver
will doubtless have large warehouses
and good wharves built as occasion
demands. Tickets through to Lon;
don from Hongkong can be had at
considerably cheaper rates via Van
couver and the Canadian Pacific line
than via San Francisco"
"Are there any grounds for be-
lieving that the British Government
has subsidized the company"
81 think there Is little to doubt it,
as the British Government is very
liberal in that respect and has often
done it before. l have no idea of
the amount, but before l left it was
matter of common conversation. "
At this juncture young girl
came up, and, claiming Mr.. Vince
lock as her father, carried him off
to see the fire patrol drill. Mr..
Wheelock left for the East with his
family yesterday afternoon.

around Smiths Point, and on these
pleasant days it is a favorite drive
With a little Strengthening of the
crooks and a little opening toward
the bluff it will make an excellent

plates some improvements in this
line which will be of material benefit.
